A little glimpse of hope

false

I dont know who needs to hear this.... If someone had told me this even just two weeks ago, I would’ve screamed. But no matter how hurt you are right now, please know that connection still exists in the world.

I’ve posted on here before about feeling absolutely crushed and empty after thinking I lost “the one.” And while I’m still very much healing (and have a long way to go), I want to remind anyone in that dark space: don’t let your pain stop you from being open to new experiences and connections - whether platonic, romantic, or anything in between.

A couple weeks ago, I made a new friend through a mutual on social media. I saw that he was camping somewhere beautiful (I’m an avid outdoors(wo)man), asked where it was, and we just started chatting. We ended up talking on the phone, and now we hang out a few times a week - hiking, talking, creating art. He’s taught me to work with a new medium and, honestly, has spoken life back into me as a friend. For the first time in a while, I feel like I’ve got a bit of my spark back.

Just a few weeks ago, I was in such a dark place - seeking help, barely getting through the days, needing constant companionship because I’d spiral alone. But this person reminded me that acceptance is the only way forward. That you can still dance, laugh, and create while healing.

I already had amazing friends and family keeping me afloat, but meeting this person has been a reminder that there are still beautiful souls out there - and that genuine connection can lift you up when you least expect it.

It’s so easy to let someone else’s words eat away at your sense of self after a breakup. If you need to take accountability, do it. But don’t let someone else’s view of you become your identity.

I’m not healed. I’m still sad and heartbroken. But now, I’m also optimistic, grateful, and a little bit more at peace. This new friendship helped me remember that I am worthy, I am a joy to be around, and I am a good person.

Healing isn’t linear, and I know I still have a lot of work ahead. But I wanted to put this out there: there is still light and connection in the world. Don’t shut yourself away thinking otherwise. You’re a unique person, and you never know who you might cross paths with. They might bring light into your life - or you might be that light for someone else.
